Drawing on both Western and Asian theoretical frameworks, this book showcases the complex and sophistication of the negotiations that EIL teachers have to make when their identities are challenged by values and practices that seem contradictory to their own. Through resistance and negotiations and by holding firm to the teacher-as-moral-guide role, their identities are constantly constructed and reconstituted.
Industry Reviews

This is an interesting and insightful book that uses both Western and Vietnamese theoretical resources to underscore the importance of understanding the shifting professional identities of a group of Vietnamese ESL teachers, as they struggle to come to terms with competing pressures, both national and transnational. It shows that these teachers stand at the vanguard of a new era in which English represents the possibilities of greater intercultural understanding but also a hegemonic globalism that poses the risks of marginalizing other languages and cultural traditions.
